Meet Kevin Pugh. He's a champion couch potato of great skill. If his parents want to know where Kevin is they just look downstairs on the couch in front of the TV and there he is. Meet Cromwell Pugh. He's Kevin's Beagle dog. Cromwell is a champion couch cushion. About the only time you notice that he is a dog and not a couch cushion is when he drools or twitches in his sleep. Together they live a nice, predictable, comfortable life. Until the day Cromwell goes bananas and their nice comfortable life changes dramatically.
It was a day like any other day. They were downstairs watching TV when Kevin cruised past a channel with dog agility championships. Cromwell woke up, took notice (even though Kevin insisted that according to scientists Cromwell can't see the TV images) and started running an imaginary obstacle course in the basement. It was just like the dogs on TV except that Cromwell wasn't used to moving around much so once he got going he had a hard time stopping... or turning. Kevin thought his dog would get over it but he didn't. Every time Cromwell sees the backyard tire swing he loses his mind all over again and tries to jump through it. Unfortunately his short legs and very round belly make that nearly impossible. But Cromwell keeps trying (and trying and trying).
Slowly but surely Kevin is inspired by his dog to make big changes in his life. Now all he has to do is convince his dad that the changes are good and that dog agility is a real sport worthy of champions. It's a tough (and very funny) process. You will laugh and cheer Kevin and Cromwell along as they drag themselves to the top of the dog agility championships.
